So, your website says that "stuff" is scheduled for Weds 5th Feb today
Currently I have today lost all channels on C51(714Mhz) and C52(722Mhz)
All other channel groups work just fine. Have retuned a number of times but clearly Emley Moor isn't
transmitting those two groups to my area as of today.
Any idea how long this work is going to take please?

Arqiva should have completed the work at Emley Moor today on behalf of Freeview. All multiplexes have now moved to their final UHF channels. (The list at the top of this page is out of date as the site owner has not had time to make all the changes to all the transmitter listings).
The multiplexes that were on UHF C51 and C52 have now moved, COM7 has also moved from C32 - this was the whole point of the retune!
Emley's Multiplexes & UHF channels are now as follows, in the order -
PSBs1/BBCA, PSB2/D3&4, PSB3/BBCB HD, COM4/SDN, COM5/ArqA, COM6/ArqB, COM7 HD, COM8 HD, & Local
C47, C44, C41, C33, C36, C48, C55, C56, & C39.
I'd suggest that you unplug your aerial and carry out a retune which will clear all previous tuning as no channels will be found.
Plug the aerial back in and carry out a retune, then check your multiplexes are correctly tuned to those UHF channels. If not repeat, the initial clearance and then retune manually to those UHF channels.

What local news programmes were you picking up on each set before today?
For the Upstairs set, I wondered whether you've got PSBs 1 & 2 mixed up. As for the other channels there's something of a mystery, except C51 & C52 are the old Emley COMs 4&5, and C48 is now Emley COM6.
I think first I'll list the Bilsdale ones for you in the same order as I've done for Emley in the previous post for Arthur.
Bilsdale C21, C24, C27, C43, C46, C40, C55, C56, C30. You can ignore the HD & Local ones C27, 55, 56 & 30.
As for the other channels I can't find any transmitters that you are likely to pick up with those numbers!
Maybe start with the Upstairs set, unplug the aerial and do an automatic tune to clear memory of all previous tuning.
Then carry out a manual tune for each of the Bilsdale UHF channels and see what %Signal & Quality you've got for each multiplex.

psb1 uhf ch21 (682.000 mhz)
psb2 uhf ch24 (658.000mhz)
coms 4 uhf ch43 (594.000 mhz)
coms 5 uhf ch46 (570.000 mhz)
coms 6 uhf ch40 (690.000 mhz)
lls uhf ch55 (618.000 mhz)
coms 7 uhf ch56 (498.000 mhz)
coms 8 uhf ch30 (478.000 mhz)
signal and quality is holding signal 94% quality 84% upstairs
now the downstairs tv
psb 1 uhf ch21
psb 2 uhf ch24
coms 4 uhf ch36
coms 5 uhf ch33

Hi up until the December retune I could get BBC4 HD fine, after that I tried multiple retunes and finally tuned it on a very stormy day (Elmley Moor transmitter). It was only on rare times i could actually view it. (a few other channels such as cbeebies HD also disappeared but no great loss.)
After the February retune I was hoping i'd get it back as the transmitter was outputting at 51,200 W on channel 56 as opposed to 5 kw from a local transmitter since December apparently. Unfortunately I still can't get it. I use a horizontal oldish loft aerial. Is there any mileage in me getting an improved aerial ?
Thanks.

After much manual retuning the standard [not HD] channels for anyone in east Yorkshire pointing at Emley Moor are: 33 36 44 47 48

Dave Bates:
There was no retune at Emley in December, the previous one was 23rd October and the transmitter power was reduced to 47.86kW, but that small difference shouldn't have made any difference, it's more likely to have been the effect of the channel change from C34 to C56.
For your postcode (picked up from your other post), you should have no problem with any of the multiplexes from Emley, so yes, a new aerial may solve the problem, especially if your "oldish loft aerial" is a Group B with 10 or 14 elements and not a larger wideband or Group E, although a Group T aerial will do, a Group E might be better as it should have slightly better gain unless you have a more elaborate Wideband/Group T.
Do you know what aerial you have at present, how many elements it has (describe if need be)?
It's also worth checking its alignment which should be bearing 187 degrees, that's 7 degrees W of due S at your location.
It might also be worth you checking that you are correctly tuned to all Emley's UHF channels as listed in my post yesterday at 7:48PM.

To be clear, in case anyone gets confused, the reduction in power to 47.86kW is for the COMs 7&8 multiplexes, the main multiplexes PSBs & COMs are all 174kW.
